/hugs thank you so much. 💜

[@ahmed11hussein]

RIP productivity, just found a new channel to binge on.

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Thank you so much and welcome!

[@christianhernandez1758]

I started to listen to these while I work and it has made me more productive!

[@bmxboy845]

i bow to you yet again your way of bringing us lost and forgotten bit of lore is like no other.keep up the amazing work Krytan Herald and report on!

[@ronhar1412]

"Kormir whilst investigating would unwittingly read from the monolith of the fallen god unsealing it's dark powers" DAMMIT KORMIR!

[@traveling.down.the.road56]

First let me say that I'm a new subscriber to your channel, so I haven't yet experienced more than just a handful of your wonderful videos, but . . . . . I am almost speechless after watching this masterpiece! I can't imagine you creating something that tops this video, it is gorgeous, and so well edited and written, I would think that not even Anet, with all of its monetary and artist/writer resources could have done better. Well done seems so underwhelming as a response to this work of art you have created. I can't wait to view more of your work, and as someone who is preparing to begin creating my own very different type of GW2 KZbin content, you are a true inspiration. Thank you!

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Thank you so much. Good luck with the channel and poke me if you need help. 🤓,

[@Azsharah]

Omg ur clips are life :) thank you for the effort and for the lore behind them! We love you 😁

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Many thanks and many hugs 💜

[@oliverdevega]

Incredible work and by far the most touching chronicle I've heard on this channel, It almost brought tears of emotion to my eyes at some parts. Well done!

[@RolyVento]

Your videos help me love the world of Guild Wars even more! ANET you support your work even more. You are making us newbies fall in love with guild wars and it’s stories!

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Thank you so much and welcome to Tyria. 🌺

[@merlinarthur1386]

All of your vids are so informative and you have the best voice for narrating. I particularly enjoy your profession videos as they are very useful for a new player like me :)

[@Lairin]

The stories being told in the context of gw2 and research done by the priory adds such authenticity

[@vladimer33]

Thanks for these archives . It has been a long long time when I participate in the events of Tyria in GW1. I was young and couldn't graps most of what was going on. Thanks to your records I can now piece together a long lost legendary event. Many thanks 🙏🏽.

[@Architechtus]

Can't believe I'm only coming across this channel now! Your videos have really high production value, and are overall amazing! Liked and subbed.

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Thank you so much and welcome 🌺

[@michaelcoffey498]

Buying GW1 this Xmas to know the lore and world even better. This video made me look very forward to it.

[@MrSamsonite23]

This is kind of like watching those old SWTOR lore videos Bioware put out before or around when they released the game!! This is excellently done. I can tell a lot of work went into these, immersing me into one of my favorite story-lines in GWs.

[@Runeify00]

At 10:00 in OMG WHERE did you get that armor & WHAT IS ITt!?!? your fashion sense is OUTSTANDING AF !!

I love how these lore is delivered in character

[@BirchyFruFru]

This was really well crafted. Great job!

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Many thanks

[@SarahKingOurStitchingKingdom]

Beautifully done! I love the lore of this amazing game. This is taking me back to my roots of playing GW1. You do a wonderful job of putting this all together. Thank you!!

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Thank you

[@gwydionofthepaletree9499]

The wurms are, in fact, called Junundu, not Jukundu, but that doesn't take away from how amazing this video is. You've outdone yourself yet again.

[@FornaxTheHerald]

gah Thanks! >.

[@DarthClyan]

Great voice, great storytelling, very talented

[@FornaxTheHerald]

You are too kind 🌺

[@dinkyr4794]

wow,your montage and your writing are awesome,you did a great job.

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Thank you

[@DavidGonzalezAlcaraz]

Great Job. Bring more like this!

[@sovest555]

It is helpful to note that the Lich and Shiro actually got to the Realm of Torment through respectively unique means. The undead vizier's spirit got there the same way the Titans got out, through the Door of Komalie, and Shiro was discarded there by the envoys following his defeat in Factions. Most likely, it is at this point that Abbadon and his servants approached them to bring them into the fold properly, resulting in the heroes in Nightfall encountering both as guardians of the dark master.

[@FornaxTheHerald]

I may well do a lore vid about Factions, I love the idea of the envoys and loved playing the original game. Thanks for sharing your knowledge here.

[@Brv117]

Actually, Shiro and Vizier Khilbron were already touched and manipulated by Abbadon. The Vizier was possessed/influenced by Abbadons demon, Razakel and is the reason he read from the Forbidden Scrolls that sank Orr. Shiro was manipulated and corrupted by a servant of Abbadon, and that's why he slaughtered the Emperor of Cantha at the Harvest Temple which resulted in the Jade Wind.

[@FornaxTheHerald]

I did cover Vizier Khilbron in another lore episode but I have not done one for Shiro yet.

[@Yoda7676]

specter of Jutu later reveals that Khilbron was not simply coerced into using the magic but had also been converted to the worship of Abaddon prior to the Cataclysm. taken from wiki.

[@epithymbria]

Thank you for helping relatively new players in understanding the background of the coming expansion! xoxo from Norway

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Glad to help

[@MrElusive79]

Just watched this very nicely presented video, thank you for creating and sharing it. This really makes me want to embark on the Nightfall journey once more! :)

[@McNor]

Another stunning display of storytelling! Well done! Well done indeed!

[@McNor]

With your permission I would to use your video for screen saver pictures. Absolutely Stunning!

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Of course

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Thank you!

[@constantinesoldatos]

I could listen to Nightfall lore for hours on end and the quality of content you put out is just luxurious! I can't imagine the work and effort put behind all of this and I can't wait to see you get the recognition you deserve and more! Stay classy!! Ps: Vareeeeshhh

[@FornaxTheHerald]

/hugs

[@piegod2334]

New player here looking into the lore....this video was amazing

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Thank you!

[@Ganymede91]

Amazing work! You bring the lore to life

[@Brv117]

Beautiful video as always! There are some small lore errors here and there but overall it was masterfully done! Good job! Keep it up. I love listening to these as a GW1 player and lore enthusiast. Best wishes!

[@FornaxTheHerald]

I did re-arrange the order of some of the events, to make it flow better. When aid was requested from the rest of Tyria for example. I also missed out the Vabbi Merchant princes' refusal to fight and their retreat to the hidden city, i do not think it was needed really, to get the basic story across. At least I hope not!! >.< /hugs 💜

[@papabones8753]

Goosebumps! Subscribed, hope to see more of this in the future!

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Thank you and welcome!

[@creap32]

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Thank you

[@atari1777]

I really enjoy your videos especially this one keep up the great work. Cheers! :)

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Thank you

[@mAttacker89]

I love how you have your avatar talking in sync with your audio

[@FornaxTheHerald]

[@sylsabastian5217]

I am most keen to know how you match the mouth to the words? Love the video and super appreciate the effort involved.

[@FornaxTheHerald]

I try to match the larger movements with expressive words but it does not always work.

[@sylsabastian5217]

Ah thanks. It looks like the mouth matches the words. :) :D I thought maybe some special software or something like that.

[@ps5110]

2:00 what armor is this?

[@Doomscythe]

This was absolutely beautiful, thank you!

[@FornaxTheHerald]

💜

[@mikeg5039]

How do you find the lore you use in the videos? Its so detailed :) they need to make you a voice in game

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Thank you

[@willsword8100]

To this moment i wonder who shall take up the vacant mantle Balthazar left...

[@FornaxTheHerald]

If you have not, you should really play the newest Living World episode - A star to guide us. 🌺

[@Plinious]

Guild Wars Nightfall was a wonderful game and I thank you for this video. That said, I have an advice for you... imho you should have used Nightfall footage when speaking about Istan, Kamadan and other areas of Elona.

[@FornaxTheHerald]

I did consider it, but I when for new game footage to try and keep the look consistent. Maybe next time!

[@Plinious]

I understand. Keep up the good work!

[@lethos8811]

Whats that event at 17:19? Im new to the game and I have been reading a lot of lore to get into it but I have no idea what that footage is

[@FornaxTheHerald]

This footage is from a trailer for Guild Wars Factions, which is part of the original GW campaigns.

[@lethos8811]

@@FornaxTheHerald oh, ok. But what is it supposed to be showing. Seems like a big enough event to have a name. Thanks for the reply, love your voice by the way. Its mesmerizing. U play mesmer right?

[@lethos8811]

Nevermind went to watch and learnt it was the jade wind. Thanks

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Sorry >.< Im glad you found out!

[@leviballouramage624]

i sleep to this every night

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Sleep well

[@caprisalt]

Could someone tell me whether the armor set at 9:34 is available and, if so, what is it?

[@FornaxTheHerald]

wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Arcane_Outfit Not at the moment

[@JoelleAGodfrey]

Great video. Ty.

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Thank you

[@Kaldranis]

What armour is that at 5:33 ? :)

[@FornaxTheHerald]

wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Champion_of_Tyria_Outfit

[@Kaldranis]

The Krytan Herald thanks!

[@Boons___1]

I love that voooooooooooiiiiiiicccccceeeeee ,Herald!

[@axelshadowclaw1175]

If it's possible what do you think is the best ranged profession in guild wars 2?

[@FornaxTheHerald]

The most dmg output?

[@axelshadowclaw1175]

The Krytan Herald well to be more specific I am only a free to play player and since I like the guardian's support capability I only have one more slot for a more damage oriented class and to make it even more challenging I'm trying to find a ranged type profession, with the exception of mesmer because I didn't like the butterflies effect and illusions, the engineer's kits seems confusing to me, though I might buy the expansion once I got enough spare money I just want an alternative gameplay from the playstyle of melee/support

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Sceptre & torch for Guardian are viable ranged weapons. Also try the Elementalist staff - its all about ranged and has strong mitigation and control on earth.

[@axelshadowclaw1175]

The Krytan Herald thank you so much I'll start with your guides on elementalist

[@KahnSkins]

Amazing video!!!!!

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Thank you 💜

[@TesaLegitimusVonAtti]

Omg, juste magnifique !

[@tomekc1113]

Well done :)

[@shaddgg1286]

New to guilds wars checking out lore I really like evil characters like this

[@redgate2843]

My player character is son of Koss & Melony. She's ranger;)

[@RuneAngelDragon]

I still have to beat Nightfall. Anyone wanna help me through the campaign that still plays GW1? I play Mesmer/Ranger.

[@Sammpo]

Reminds me of Galadriel from LOTR :D

[@TheBarbarianGamer]

Unless they bring in someone new, I speculate that Palawa Joko becomes the new God of War.

[@FornaxTheHerald]

😱 I had not even thought of that!

[@TheBarbarianGamer]

The Krytan Herald Well, the list of viable candidates is pretty short: A living human (or formerly-human lich) who has learned much of the art of warfare. Logan Thackeray? Marjory? Kasmeer? LORD FAREN?Don't make me laugh. Everyone else is too sneaky: Livia, Countess Anise, Valette Wi, E. It's either going to be Palawa Joko or the new Sunspear Commander NPC that's been fighting PJ this whole time, that we haven't met yet.

[@TheBarbarianGamer]

Ondřej Hrdina Unknown origins, but so far, all the human gods have been human-looking.

[@fiachdubhe401]

You really have the BBC documentary intonation down. ^^

[@Yitsul]

It's Junudu wurm not Jukandu wurm

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Aye messed up the pronunciations there >.

[@RorreResuEht]

wow... they didn't even get the GW storyline right... It was Veresh that started Nightfall

[@FornaxTheHerald]

RorreResuEht it was General Kahyet who corrupted Veresh Ossa, turning her to the service of Abaddon and it was the actions of Kormir at Fahranur that set in motion the events to allow the prophecies of Glint to be fulfilled. However the root cause was always Abaddon and his conflict with the other 5 Gods.

[@bmgt93]

Engie vid 2 :( nowhere to be seen :( i cry. you decieved me, you are a harlequin of Abbadon

[@FornaxTheHerald]

made me giggle! - its coming honest /hides

[@juanpunch2793]

why are you always whispering like you don't want to wake up the baby sleeping right beside you?

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Nope, just softly spoken. In a loud room its hell trying to communicate >.< lol

[@elessartelcontar5242]

The accent of the Narrator is improving, her accent was annoying when she's narrating the Shining Blade Exemplar.

[@FornaxTheHerald]

Im glad you are enjoying more. Also this is a one woman show - I write, narrate, capture and edit - all on my lonesome. 🤓

[@Takoandi]

A german vision would be gread. My english is not the best :/

[@FornaxTheHerald]

I will try to get a translate via subtitles

[@Kirin122]

BOOOOOOOORIIIIING

[@JoseFlores-pn4ev]

*Cough cough* Ohh komir the useless

[@FornaxTheHerald]

lol no the most useful in game ia ever.

[@sarys73]

omg I am having a hard time following this broads yapper. Like listening to Ben Stein

[@FornaxTheHerald]

lol had to google him! Come on at least find someone British to insult me... -5 Charisma for your lack of effort!
